Brandon Aiyuk has expressed his frustration with the San Francisco 49ers by posting a message on Instagram urging the team to release him, calling them a “bum a– team.” This follows a rift that arose during the 2025 NFL season, exacerbated by the 49ers voiding his guaranteed contract money. Aiyuk has also criticized 49ers GM John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan in recent social media posts, stating that he will never return to the team except for an upcoming game against the Washington Commanders on October 19.
